US Secretary of State Antony Blinken meets top Modi administration officials and civil rights groups, saying fundamental freedoms and rule of law are 'tenets of democracies'
In the talks proper, Indian officials were expected to express alarm over Taliban gains in Afghanistan and to press Blinken for more support in New Delhi's border standoff with China.
India is part of the Quad alliance with the United States, Japan and Australia, seen as a bulwark against China. "India is locked in a military standoff with China but unlike top Trump administration officials who publicly condemned China's aggression and backed India, no one in Team Biden has so far lent open support to India," Chellaney told AFP.
India is worried that a possible takeover by the Taliban, which it sees as backed by its arch-rival Pakistan, will turn the country into a base for militants to attack India.
